Fun
Fun is the enjoyment of pleasure and, according to Johan Huizinga, "an absolutely primary category of life, familiar to everybody at a glance right down to the animal level."[1] Fun may be encountered in many human activities during work, social functions, recreation and play, and even seemingly mundane activities of daily living. The distinction between enjoyment and fun is difficult to articulate but real,[2] fun being a more spontaneous, playful, and active event.
Fun can also refer to the activity itself that is enjoyable, thus "skiing is fun", however, a bad fall may "take the fun out of skiing".
The perception of time is shortened when one is "having fun".[3]
Boy you wouldn't know fun if it raped u repeatedly and threw your body into a lake -.-
